Cnut of a thing to adjust tho, getting it right... I had 74 flashes from people the first night I fitted them, from Joondalup to Armadale and back... Im still not happy with the position of them, so if anyone is an expert at adjusting them, let me know, i can arrange beers

I also feel i NEED the HID's because my eyesight is that bad at night, it really helps me to see what im doing and where im going.

After a recent trip down south spending most of my time in front of a certain silver 02 STi (i was in an Evo, being in fronts a given

) i would suggest that 8000k's are too damn bright. Rather annoying! 6000k's should be plenty sufficient for most peoples applications. My 4300k's do the job for me. Havent had to adjust them either in my 06. They lined up good with the original halogens.

hey guys pretty sure i need H7 for low beam for 2007 Impreza?

Manual says...

low beam:
vehicles w/ hid headlights: 12W-35W = D2s
vehicles w/o hid headlights : 12W - 55W = H7

front foglight H3
high beam HB3

Take note, ADR's require a fluid headlight cleaning system in place with HID's.

Absolutely right, in addition they have to be auto levelling as well. Although given the amount of retrofits that are occuring dont think cops/pits give a ...

As explicit says though something to keep in mind! usual pros n cons

This is where I placed my ballasts in an 02sti

Passenger's Side:

As you can see, the bracket goes over the clampy thing (technical term) that holds the battery in place, looks pro

Driver's Side:

Hard to see, but its there under the air intake infront of the airbox, as you can see, its held in position by that bolt, which has gone through a hole that used to be used by the resinator..
